Research: Basic Science

On a basic science level, we are:

Working to elucidate neurobiological mechanisms of mindfulness through the study of brain activity and connectivity using fMRI

Conducting neurophenomenological studies to link the subjective experience of mindfulness with specific brain activity using real-time fMRI and EEG neurofeedback

Collaborating with Drs. Carl Fulwiler and Jean King (Department of Psychiatry) and Sarah Cavanagh (Assumption College) to investigate the degree to which high cognitive resources can predict a successful response to MBSR using performance-based cognitive tasks and physiological and fMRI measurements.
